Little Leprechauns

St. Patrick's day was oh so fun in our house. We started our day with a visit from a naughty little Leprechaun. While Cute was sleeping the sneaky little leprechaun snuck into his room and did lots of mischievous things. Toys were strewn about, books were knocked askew, pillows were disheveled and toilet paper was thrown everywhere.

How do we know it was a sneaky little leprechaun? Because he left behind some leprechaun poop as evidence. And he left it everywhere. Naughty little guy.

I asked him who he thought it was and he said, "Little Cute came into my room and made this big mess!"

I couldn't figure out why he thought she did it, and then he said, "Becaaauuuse mommy. Look at the toilet paper." Touche little man. Little Cute does like to unroll herself some toilet paper.

Once I showed him the "poop" he realized it was the leprechaun. But he also informed me that those weren't poops, they were treats because "leprechauns know how to poop in the potty like big boys mommy."

Oh my. Nothing gets by that one.

After we cleaned up the mess, we got dressed and headed out the door for an early morning appointment. It was a holiday, so you know I didn't pass up the chance at wearing theme wear.

Theme wear complete with sparkles and tulle. Some might say I went a little overboard, but I say nailed it! Just wait until Earth Day. ;)

We finished some errands and our appointment early before we were supposed to meet Carrie Beth and Boo-Boo, so we played at a local park for a little bit.

We are all loving the abundance of sunshine and warm temps Mother Nature has been sending us lately. It makes me so giddy for summer I can't even stand it.

Boo-Boo arrived and the kids played outside for a solid hour without one single complaint. Carrie Beth and I were able to catch up and the kids climbed/jumped/ran their little hearts out. It was glorious!

After all that fresh air and exercise, the kids started to become ravenous. We took the cue and made way to one of our favorite places for lunch. McEntyre's Bakery used to be our go to place when everyone lived closer to that end of town. It is a yummy treat with its delicious sandwiches and mouthwatering desserts, and whenever we can we jump at the chance to enjoy a lunch date there.

The kids loved picking out special treats from their endless dessert case. It is so hard to pick just one!

After we wrapped up lunch, we headed home to enjoy more sunshine and fun outdoors. I didn't even take a picture because I wasn't about to miss one second of this taste of what spring has to offer.

Finally as the sun started to go down, I called us all in for a late dinner of green eggs. Not pictured because really it was a last minute effort since we stayed out so late, but at least I stuck with the theme, right?

Hope everyone had a fabulous St. Patrick's Day too! Did you do anything fun? Did the kids get into it?

Now off to enjoy another sunshiny filled day and to continue blinding the good people of Atlanta with my winter pale legs. It doesn't get any better! :)

Between the two of us we have 6 precious little ones and constantly have a text conversation going on about the day-to-day of our lives and the crazy adventure that is motherhood.

We're excited to share our ideas and stories with you and hope you enjoy getting to know us, the Magnolia Mamas!
